Festive Fall Sliders with KING’S HAWAIIAN ® Dinner Rolls

Sliders may seem like a summer grilling weather kind of thing, but we enjoy them year-round. All you need are a seasoned cast iron pan and a medium to medium-high flame and you’re good to go, bringing your favorite summer treat to parties and sports gatherings for many months to come.

I recently attended a burger competition and at it, the judges stated that the bun is as important, if not more so, than any other item on the burger. If the bun is wrong, it’s hard to come back from that. KING’S HAWAIIAN ® Dinner Rolls are the perfect accompaniment to your burgers and sliders. They meet the softness criteria, having just the right amount of give, while adding a touch of sweetness to balance out the rest of the flavors. Whether you toast and butter them or use them as is, they’ll turn any burger into a winner, every time.

With the proper buns already in place around my burgers, I had to consider the filling. I decided to update my sliders for the season by incorporating flavors that speak Fall to me. You can’t have Fall in New England without cranberries in some shape or form! I spread some cranberry pepper jelly on the tops of the rolls to add some spicy sweetness and good ole’ New England flair. Add to that the peppery bite of arugula and sour creaminess of fresh goat cheese, and you have the perfect mini burger.

If you have a hard time finding cranberry pepper jelly, try the part of your grocery store that has the fancy condiments. Gourmet cooking stores will also be more likely to carry it than basic stores. It’s worth seeking it out for the unique flavor it brings to these burgers.

Welcome!

I'm so happy to have you here with me sharing the delicious journey I have chosen! I am Carrie, a mom on a mission to find bliss in the kitchen. At least, as long as my kids allow me to. More of a baker than a cook, you'll find I love experimenting--baking is sort of like a mad scientist experiment, anyway, isn't it? It doesn't always turn out the way I plan, but that's part of the fun. ;)
